xVictron Blue Smart IP65 Battery Charger 12V 4A with CEE 7/17 Plug
The Victron Blue Smart IP65 12V 4A is a compact, weatherproof battery charger designed for charging 12V lead-acid and lithium batteries in vehicles, boats, caravans and off-grid applications. It connects via a CEE 7/17 (Schuko-compatible) mains plug and includes Bluetooth monitoring through the VictronConnect app, making it suitable for both workshop and field use.
Key Features
- IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for use in damp or outdoor environments.
- Built-in Bluetooth allows full monitoring and configuration via the free VictronConnect app on iOS and Android, with no additional dongle required.
- Compatible with a wide range of 12V battery chemistries including AGM, Gel, flooded lead-acid and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4).
- Seven-stage adaptive charging algorithm optimises charge quality and extends battery service life across different battery types and states.
- CEE 7/17 mains plug (Schuko-compatible) suits standard European and UK-with-adapter socket installations.
- DC output connects directly to the battery via the included DC connector, keeping installation straightforward.
- Compact and lightweight at 0.647 kg, making it easy to carry and store on board or in a service vehicle.
Product Overview
The Blue Smart IP65 range uses a fully sealed, splash-resistant housing that allows the charger to be mounted in engine bays, lockers or other locations where moisture and dust are a concern. The IP65 rating means it can tolerate direct water spray, though it is not designed for submersion. This makes it a practical choice for marine, caravan and automotive applications where a standard charger would be at risk.
Bluetooth connectivity is built into the unit rather than added as an accessory. Through VictronConnect, you can view real-time charge status, adjust battery type settings, check historical charge data and configure charge parameters. This is particularly useful when the charger is installed in a location that is not easily accessible, such as a battery compartment or under a seat.
The seven-stage charging process includes bulk, absorption and float phases, along with storage mode and a reconditioning cycle for sulphated lead-acid batteries. For lithium batteries, the algorithm adapts to the requirements of LiFePO4 chemistry. At 4A output, this charger is best suited to batteries in the 14Ah to 100Ah range, making it appropriate for motorcycles, leisure batteries, small boat house banks and auxiliary vehicle batteries.

Installation Notes
This charger is designed for connection to a standard 230V mains supply via the supplied CEE 7/17 plug. In the UK, a plug adapter will be required for use with standard BS 1363 (Type G) sockets. Ensure the mains circuit is protected by an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker. The DC output should be connected to the battery with correct polarity; refer to the polarity markings on the connector. For installations in enclosed spaces, ensure adequate ventilation around the battery being charged, particularly with flooded lead-acid types. No specialist electrical qualification is required for basic connection, but any permanent wiring or installation into a vehicle or vessel electrical system should be carried out by a competent person.
